I have owned this monitor for a Year and a Half now, and find it an insanly good monitor.

Size

I'll start off very general for people looking to upgrade their monitor. To most people, size is the most important factor in determening what monitor to buy. I upgraded from a 17 inch, and wow did I noticed the difference. Everything was so much clearer, and Of course, I acould fit so much more on the screen, although this is to do with the resolution of it. 22 Inch is a great size, especially after being used to a much smaller size. It big enough to fit on a normal desk and not look way to big, and it will impress all your friends :) .

Quality

I was used to a cheap 17 inch monitor, and therefore this might be slightly biased, but the quality is very good. All the colours are vivid and crisp, and it makes excellent work of all games i've put towards it. Once again, the resolution helps to achieve this, but comparing this to some other monitors i've seen at friends, this has to be one of the best.

Appearence

Appearence is another very important factor in determening what monitor to get. I am unsure if there are different variations to the model I got, but the one I purchased had a reflective glass border with a silver edge along the bottom. Now personlly, I love samsung products, as they always manage to produce items with such style, like this one. Silver and black make a perfect combination.

Conectivity

Theres one feature, which I love about this product. Once again, I am unsure if this is with all models, but it has both a VGA and DVI input. I have used this in the past for both PC and Xbox 360. The source button on the front alows the quick switch between the two. Its much easier than having to manually switch cabels everytime you want to play something else. Having both VGA and DVI connections also alows easy connectivity from your PC, without any need for conversion.

I'm afraid I'm unable to remember details about the cables and instruction manual that came with it. But I'm sure more information is available on the samsung site.

I actually have not a single bad thing to say about this product. Its great in every way. I think theres a model above this with a slightly slower response time. If you have the money I'm sure its worth it, but I'm perfectly happy with this one.

So overall, I would recomment the item to anyone who is intrested in upgrading their monitor, and has the cash to spare.

Thanks for reading.
